NEW CANYON ULTIMATE AND ENDURACE BIKES ADOPT PACE BAR HANDLEBAR TECH FROM THE AEROAD

  • New modular cockpit system increases comfort options and allows Ultimate and Endurace riders to add aero extensions, phone mounts or in-line computer mounts.
  • Artwork updates for both models, plus saddle clamp change and TX25 thru-axle tools on the Ultimate add further enhancements.

Embargoed until Thursday 15th May 2025, 11:00 CEST: Standing for Performance Adaptive Cockpit Ecosystem, Canyon’s PACE Bar is designed to unlock performance options for riders and bring in a broader fit range through innovative cockpit modularity.  The PACE Bar was initially launched on Canyon’s award-winning Aeroad in 2024 and it’s now available on the Canyon Ultimate, the brand’s lightweight climbing bike, and the Endurace, Canyon’s endurance-focused road bike.

Whilst the PACE Bar allows for accessories to be easily mounted, or drops to be swapped, that means different things for different riders. 

  • For Endurace riders, the range of comfort options offered by the PACE Bar can be game changing. The aero drops provide ergonomic options with a 19 deg. flare and 50 mm of width adjustment together with the T-Bar. Riders also now get 5 mm of extra height adjustment compared to the CP0018 predecessor, giving riders 20 mm of adjustment in total. Plus riders can neatly mount extension bars on the Gear Groove for further comfort over distance.  
  • For Ultimate riders, the PACE Bar’s aero drops allows for enhanced aerodynamics and watt savings versus the CP0018 cockpit by reducing the rider’s frontal surface area. The shallower 105 mm aero drops (vs the 130 mm Classic drop) allow riders to ride in the drops for longer. Also the Aero Drops have a longer reach (+10mm) both of which allow riders to maintain a more aerodynamic position. Plus, the new Gear Groove interface provides a solid platform for mounting a range of accessories quickly, from aero bars to computer mounts (available separately).

New Saddle Clamp for the Ultimate

For this facelift Canyon also updated the saddle clamp to the new clamping mechanism which allows riders to adjust their saddle tilt and setback individually.​ Combined with a D-shaped seatpost, it reduces air resistance in the seat tube area to an absolute minimum.

TX25 screws and new emergency tool

The Ultimate’s removable thru-axle lever doubles up as a TX25 tool that now fits almost every screw across the Ultimate. The six-point star shape allows more torque to be applied without fear of rounding off the screw and means you only need one simple tool for any adjustment on the road. Plus the tool clips discreetly into the wheel axle when it's not in use.

New Artwork Concept​ 

Slight adjustments to the artwork concepts of the Ultimate and Endurace ensure that they perfectly complement Canyon's classic and iconic design.

From the single-colored CF versions and the sparkling SLX versions to the CFR artworks that reflect the lightness of these bikes, each design element enhances the overall performance and endurance aesthetic.

The Ultimate comes in 6 models, from the CFR Di2 or CFR AXS at € 9,999 to the CF 7 at € 2,499, plus a frameset and brake kit option at € 4,999.
